STAINLESS STEEL CHIMNEY LINING

A Stainless Steel chimney liner is air
and water tight. It locks in moisture and flue gases in your chimney
and keeps them out of your home. This unique alloy is designed specifically
to resist acids coming from gas and oil appliances in the flue and
extreme stresses of hot and cold cycles.

Commerical
Chimney Lining

Most
masonry chimneys were not designed to handle the venting requirements
of modern heating appliances burning natural gas and oil. improperly
lined chimneys cause costly structural and cosmetic damage, and
also create potentially serious safety hazards. Each year there
are thousands of cases of Carbon Monoxide poisoning due to improperly
lined chimneys. In recent code upgrades most chimney's need to be
relined when one of the appliances is changed or there are changes
of fuel type. At Approved chimney our certified technicians are
experienced to handle any of these situations and can help you to
find the best solution for your chimney.

Since chimney is one of the most taken-for-granted parts of a building,
Typically it tends to receive neither the attention nor the concern
usually accorded to other household service systems. The fact that
chimneys may do their job reasonably well, even when abused or neglected,
contributes to this atmosphere of indifference. Chimneys are far
from the passive black holes that most people assume them to be.
They perform several vital functions, and their simple appearance
misrepresents their complex construction and performance requirements.

A chimney deteriorated by constant exposure to the weather can be
a potential safety hazard. Weather-damaged lining systems, flue
obstructions and loose masonry materials all present a threat to
residents. Regular chimney maintenance is essential to prevent damage,
deterioration and future high-cost chimney repairs.

One of the chimney repairs most commonly used is rigid stainless
steel liner.
A Stainless Steel chimney liner is air and water tight. It locks
in moisture and flue gases in your chimney and keeps them out of
your home. This unique alloy is designed specifically to resist
acids coming from gas and oil appliances in the flue and extreme
stresses of hot and cold cycles. Stainless Steel 316Ti or 304L liners
has been UL Tested under the most
extreme
conditions including multiple simulated chimney fires exceeding
2100 F.

Commercial & Industrial Stainless Steel
Chimney Lining

When installing a commercial flue
liner, in most cases a chain block is set up on top of the roof,
which is used to raise the liner a few feet at a time. A welder
connects pieces below and signals to the team above to raise the
pipe high enough to make room for the next piece and repeats.
The pipe is always very heavy and in most cases rests on the floor,
however in some cases, i-beams are installed to hold it up.

The other way as shown in the picture
to the right is using a large crane, Crane will pick up the liner
and insert into the chimney slowly. This method is much faster however
there are multiple factors that may or may not be available at every
job site. Space, height of the chimney liner, parking space for
the crane etc. We can inspect your site and offer best solution
for your project.

is an excellent solution for commercial, industrial, and residential
chimney's. The ceramic coating seals all small holes and cracks,
strengthens the chimney, and increases efficiency without downsizing
the flue significantly.
